Attention all K-12s plus anyone else that cares to see what our
government agencies and insiders would much rather you didn’t:
Finding Waldo on Venus is actually much easier said than done, but
otherwise finding a substantial tarmac plus large scale infrastructure
that looks perfectly rational is really easy.

This "IrfanView" image processing utility is somewhat like being
digital image potty trained, as well as having been 5th grader
approved and thus as good as any LeapFrog pop-up book can deliver.
Not that any number of equal or better digital image methods for
enlarging haven’t existed as is, but here's simply yet another old one
that has been perked up so that not even a 5th grader is necessary to
operate it. If you can click your mouse or one finger type on a
keyboard, that's pretty much all the image processing expertise you'll
ever need.

If you’d care to first crop out and save the most interesting 10%
portion at 1:1, as I've so often instructed (gives roughly a 64 k
image file that’s a 100% clone of the original without having all the
surrounding image to deal with), whereas the automated enlargement
process runs ten fold faster, and perhaps another ten fold faster yet
if using XP instead of Windows 7 (but that's not my fault).

Of course Apple/MAC users are not without as good or better
alternatives than PhotoZoom. However, this radar obtained image is
just offering a basic monochrome file of 651 k, of not all that many
pixels to begin with. So, a 10x enlargement is still going to be
relatively efficient and otherwise simplified, in that not even a 5th
grader is required, and because such software doesn’t care what image
context it is processing, there’s nothing weird or unexpected going to
happen unless you have a faith-based or some other dysfunctional
naysay kind of problem.

Virtually all digital cameras and photo printers of any significance
come packaged with a basic photo resizing/enlarging along with their
automatic zoom filtering utility for delivering sufficient image
enlargement results that do not modify or otherwise skew the image
data. Commercially or via government agencies should have far better
zoom/enlarge or image resampling results that are certainly available
to those with either the necessary loot or having their inside
connections for using such.

Start looking for our Venusian Waldo or whatever else looks unusually
of local intelligence somewhere near that complex tarmac, or perhaps
he/she is over near that large clover shaped reservoir that’s
connected to that other reservoir, or how about near the natural fluid
arch if not around that impressive bridge or just nearby any number of
other large scale infrastructure (including those rectangular rock
quarry sites situated just north of that bridge). There’s at least 5
gold stars plus a million other points to go along with your name as
given full credits for finding Waldo. (K-12 team/class efforts are
allowed, because there’s lots of observationology credit to go around)

Do your own image enlargement and post a link, or pretend you care by
doing absolutely nothing.
